Sage stopped him with a trembling voice and he moved his feet towards the bed, walking past Simon who wore a grim expression. Sage's eyes fell on the lifeless form of his mother and sister, his mind reeling in denial. He searched for any sign of life, but there was none. He reached out a hand to touch Lady Phoenix's cheek and with a shaky hand, he touched Simone's hand. They were both cold to the touch and the reality hit him. They were both dead, murdered. He could see the part where Lady Phoenix had been staked and the neck where Simone had been slaughtered. He didn't want to believe it at first and had hoped they were still somehow, alive, but that doesn't seem to be true. He felt suffoca

I froze for a moment, then gripped the butcher knife in my hands tightly. Even though chills were running down my spine again, I started to sweat profusely. I was a nervous wreck. Terrified thoughts flooded my mind. What if it’s Jonathon playing games with us? What if it’s someone who can help? Should we hide? I knew hiding might be risky, since our only real hope for rescue might be on the other side of that door. Then again, I also knew that opening the door might seal our fate for good.

That quiet, simmering danger makes every move feel like it could change everything. Malaki’s side shows the opposite energy: suspicion, unease, and the sharp instinct of someone who senses that something is wrong. You get to walk in his shoes, feel the tension coiling in his chest, and understand why he’s always on guard. I love creating moments where readers can almost feel the warning crawling up the spine alongside him. I hope you enjoy the push-and-pull between these two perspectives the scheming and the suspicion and that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Things are just beginning to unravel, and every character has secrets that could ignite chaos at any moment.

The man took a seat on the edge of the table, and gently brushed his fingers on their thick covers, staring at them like the most precious thing in the world. “These books are banned from several nations, to people like me they hold no power to cast spells and but with a sorceress like you…” He trailed off and smiled. “You are strange,” Elira spoke her mind, scrutinizing the man. He laughed heartily, basking in her comment like his greatest compliment. “Makes both of us, my lady.” He opened up another book written in an unfamiliar language and underlined some phrases. “Breathe in the words, hold it, and speak what you see.”

Wrong. The first few titles I sift through are the kind I expected to find in a place like this: image-heavy coffee table books about the estate. They have titles like Huntington Manor: A Photographic Tour, or The Architecture of Huntington Manor. Or even Settlers of Barberville: A History of the Region. But buried beneath all of those, I find a book that makes my insides twist. It's called The Cunninghams: The Unauthorized Story. I stare down at the gold embossed letters on the cover. This is a joke, right? This can't be real.

The title said 'The Fault in Our Stars'. "I think you'd like this one. But don't get your hopes up..." Caleb smiled. I held the book to my chest and thanked him. Getting my hands on a new book is something close to magical for me. I finally bid Caleb goodbye, and the next thing I know...the shotgun seat of the truck was right in front of me. Dom went out and held the door open. I mindlessly entered the vehicle while holding the book, reading its sypnosis. I could feel Dom's cold stare linger at what I'm holding before he went back to the driver's seat.

It was a perfect fit. Tara scoped the room for a place to put it. Maggie insisted she keep the book safe. The second-floor den had an enormous bookcase built into the wall. If she placed it on the top shelf it could easily blend in with the array of books of all shapes and sizes that were stuffed, shoved and crammed in rows from floor to ceiling. She felt a little light headed when she stood up. She couldn’t decide if it was from the power emanating from the book she held close to her chest or simply because she stood up too fast. Whatever the reason, she took the time to stand still and wait for her equilibrium to come back before heading off to the den. ****

It might not have many if at all any instances of our lead couple in their tale but if you wish to explore a similar (yet oh so complicated) story in this universe, I will encourage you to tune in! I have little patience for suspense these days and will tell you the title outright: "Leaving the Ruthless Alpha: Always With You" It will be part of the Rebirth Series (as I have titled it) and I will be glad to see your reactions to it. Until then, please do enjoy my previous works. Thank you all. With Great Love. Rose D'Arc

Emma could feel him even before she saw him. His alluring cologne, the warmth of his body, the intensity of his stare on her back. A wave of shivers traveled down her spine as she heard the faint click of the lock. The poor girl stiffened knowing what awaited her. Soon his footsteps grew louder and her heart began to beat faster. As she heard the subtle rustle of his clothes, she clasped the expensive fabric of her dress a little too tightly in nervousness. He was getting undressed. Her body tensed, hazel eyes shut in sheer dread.

A half-smoked cigarette dangled between my fingers, the glow between my curled, stiff fingers the only warmth in the dimly lit sala. I took another long drag, letting the smoke sear into my lungs before slowly blowing it out. My head was a battle zone, images of deception flashing like gunfire: Victor and his sneer, poisoned wine, and the audacity of men who believed they were more clever than me—better or more worthy of what I’d earned in blood and steel. The business world was a more deadly version of an unloaded pistol with the safety off. Deals sealed with a handshake could explode like grenades. Survival was more than just pulling a trigger; it meant knowing when to pull it, who to aim
